I can't find any support for ligatures (suchas fi, ffi, fl) in the Plan 9 version of troff. The ligature tokens Fi and fi are not defined in the DESC file for troff fonts and no sizing data is given for those ligatures in the R font file for example. When I try to manually typeset a ligature (with the code "\(fi" or "\(Fi" ) I get the error
"cannot find glyph, rune=0x46 stoken <Fi> troff font R" when I attempt to convert the troff output with dpost. Does anyone know how to get ligatures using Plan 9 troff? Thank you! bsp
